I'm new to anime (kind of) and these forums so hi . I have just finished watching the Fullmetal Alchemist series which I really enjoyed and before that I watched Death note which was also cool. And im now looking for a new series to watch with similar attributes to Deathnote and FMA.

I liked the clever storyline of death note and I liked the character developments in FMA and the way you actually care about what happens to the characters in it, so I'd like something similar. I've had a look at a few since I finished watching FMA but they havnt really appealed. I no FMA and Deathnote are pretty big animes (well know/popular) so what other anime's are similar in popularity?

Finally, I'm also quite interested in reading Manga, but I havnt heard of any of them. Any recommendations considering what I like at the moment?

you might want to start at the root, check out more anime series from the same studio: Bones did FMA and has loads of series that have the same loving structure in character development and think through plots here's a small sum up:

Thanks for the feedback, I done a quick imdb search on Code geass and it looks pretty good (8.9 stars out of 10, whereas death note only got 7.8) so I think i might give that a try. Darker then black and ghost in a shell also appeal, and come up several times in those threads. So thanks again on all the feedback!

Also, any Manga suggestions would be appreciated, I want something sci fi ish and with good character development,

dont look at stars when ti comes to certain series
death note is a good anime, those pointers can be influenced by people who might not like the cathegory to begin with when they started watching, its def worth it to be watched the mind games are a lot of fun
